A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in a non-specific region of the aorta to maintain aortic patency and improve luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease or recurrent coarctation (narrowing) of the aorta. It is a mesh structure made of metal (e.g., platinum, iridium) that is covered with a synthetic polymer [e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)] membrane (endovascular graft). It is typically expanded in situ (e.g., balloon-expandable) and disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
